I'm having trouble dealing with trying to work in the mess. Still a lot of boxes to unpack and it is stuff that I really don't have a home for. I am going to have to make a few more trips to Goodwill, and our church bazaar said they will welcome some of it - but not that damned TV!! I am almost happy when I find something broken, because throwing it in the trash is easier than finding a place to put it. I definitely downsized!
I have tried to make room for my soap operation, finally found a place last night to lay out my molds - it will work really well - then got together all of the equipment and supplies needed. Lye has gone missing, but I have enough lye to make three quarters of a batch of soap, so that will be it. More lye ordered, might be here by Friday.

| Soap molds ready to fill - GOOD, very good indeed! |
I spent a good bit of time cleaning and clearing. It helps to have some organization here and there, even if it means carrying stuff to another place where I will have to deal with it later. I don't have time to put everything in its final home. Later.
Here are some pictures of the chaos I am living in, as well as some showing the progress I've been making. My mood is surprisingly good. My mantra now is, "This too shall pass."
 |
| A few weeks ago - fall colors, view of mansion across river - GOOD |
 |
| My first selfie with big camera - organizing list for Purple Porch baking - GOOD |
 |
| Can it be? A clean counter, sparkling canisters - GOOD |
 |
| This morning's snow - GOOD (and beautiful) |
 |
| Bread dough ready to be cut and formed into six baguettes - GOOD |
 |
| Grain mill ready to grind grain for whole wheat bread - GOOD |
 |
| Soap room counter - at least it's visible, let's call this GOOD |
 |
| What a mess - BAD, except for my little Ayn Chee |
 |
| Soap room, still a long way to go - UGLY |
 |
| One little island of sanity among boxes, tolerable but BAD |
 |
| Living room, which I am tacking tonight. UGLY, except for my precious Natasha Marie. |
